Amat ' s Unknown Sport Did you know thai Bishop Amat had a golf ream. ' It is not, however, one of the most rec- ognizable sports on campus, al- though it has been around since 1965. The team is comprised of a few hard working students. Led by Seniors Tom Cusick and Vido Butler, the team is des- tined to have a good season. Coached by Mr. Woods, the team participates in the lough Angelus League holding most of their practices at the presti- gious Industry Hills Golf Course. Although it may not (Above) Golf Tcum: (Buck Kny ) H Loly. T. Cusick. A. OiMmpo. D. Ctntnedt, Coach ro « v (From Row) V. Hurler. D. MonielUno. D. MoniclUno. D. Moniel- lano. S. Herman. seem like it, golf is a very de- manding sport that requires both concentration and skill. Vi ' ith the talent on this team, it is obvious they will have a be- low par year. Most students of Amat may find it hard to imagine the pleasure in chasing a little white ball miles down green grass with a club, through sandtraps, lakes and trees. But to the few dedi- cated men on the team, it is a very serious sport and one in which they hope to gain Bishop Amat a championship. (Left) Nine iron in h»nd. } Mo ' put (or par.

Record Breaking Talent Last year, the Men ' s Track team captured a C.I.F. Cham- pionship for Bishop Amat, de- feating the opposition with their excellent talent and qual- ity athletes. Under the leader- ship of Gary Brown, the Lancer went all the way to Sacramento to take the C.I.F. title. The Track team has the same Goal as last year. The Lobato brothers, the coaches of the track team, have helped the runners develop to their best possible potential. Practices are conducted every day, last- ing from 2-i hours a day. Also, working out individually helps better the team. Gary Brown does 700 sit-ups a day in addi- tion to running 4 miles. Standouts in this year ' s squad will be Pernell Taylor, Dirk Adams, Jeff Mack, and Gary Brown. Last year, Gary Brown set many individual records, his most memorable being the 100 meter run. With record break- ing talent the C.I.F. title is with- in Amat ' s grasp again. Team unity and spirit is also strong. Working together, the teammates get along well and look forward to hammering out a brilliant season. As their schedule goes onward into the season, the confrontation be- tween Mater Dei and Amat will prove to be another classic. A victory that may more than likely lead the Lancers to a sec- ond consecutive C.I.F. title. (Abave) Clearing che hurdic. Junior Jeff Mack strives for the finish line.
